Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast centers on themes such as personal empowerment, resilience, community support, and positivity, with episodes including discussions on the transformative impact of collaboration among Black women and the significance of a positive mindset, exemplified by guest insights from industry leaders like Adrienne Reynolds and Melissa Rivers.
The Black Woman in the Corner Office is more than a podcast — it’s a revolution in real time.
Hosted by leadership strategist Dr. Ebony Stone, this space was created for high-achieving Black women who are tired of surviving the workplace and ready to thrive on their own terms.
Whether you’re burned out from code-switching, exhausted from leading without support, or questioning your next move in corporate America — this is your place to pause, process, and power up.
Each episode delivers raw conversations, career strategy, and soul-level truth from women who’ve climbed the ladder, burned it down, or built their own.
If you’re ready to disrupt the status quo, redefine success, and reclaim your joy at work — pull up a seat. You’re not just welcome here. You belong here.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in on an intimate conversation between two long-time friends. Dr. Ebony Stone and Wendy Batiste Johnson—owner of Jagger Juliet and founder of United Black Mothers of America—open up about the realities of balancing marriage, motherhood, community, corporate life, and entrepreneurship.
Wendy takes us through her powerful journey of self-discovery, sharing the highs, the heartbreaks, and the lessons learned along the way. Together, we talk about:
✨ What it was really like trying to secure funding for her business venture
✨ The emotions and resilience behind shutting down her first company
✨ Why she chose to step back into corporate after life as an entrepreneur
✨ How her nonprofit was birthed (celebrating its 5-year anniversary!)
✨ What inspired her to jump back into entrepreneurship with fresh vision
This conversation will make you smile, laugh, nod your head in recognition—and maybe even shed a tear. It’s an honest reminder that giving yourself permission to just be is sometimes the boldest move of all.
